In the center of Moscow near entrance to the Red Square is the 0 kilometer mark, the very center of the city. The tradition is to toss a coin over your shoulder so you would return to this very spot another day. Its a massive tourist gathering and a lot of people stand around (and sometimes fight) over who gets the coins from the ground. I took this photo of a friend of mine visiting from London. I love the moment although I know the quality is not really there. This version is the best I could do, the original is in the link. I would love if you guys can help make it better :) (sorry back then I was stills shooting .jpgs :oops: )

The story behind the photo makes the look on the woman's face even funnier. Nice image that tells a story.


just a few of my thoughts...
